DLTK's Holiday Crafts for Kids Frankenstein Box for Halloween by Leanne Guenther You can replicate the same type of craft using craft foam by tracing the template pieces onto foam and drawing on a few of the details. It turns out really cute just with paper though -- the directions assume you'll be doing it just with paper.

Materials:

• paper,
• glue,
• scissors,
• small empty box (we use kleenex boxes and shoe boxes)
• construction paper,
   
• Optional:  thin cardboard  (empty cereal boxes work well)
   
• Optional:  large wiggly eyes.

Instructions:

• Print out the template of choice and color as appropriate.
• Wrap the empty box up with construction paper (or gift wrap) in an appropriate color (black or green would work) or you could paint it with acrylic or poster paint.
• Cut a slit in the top of the box large enough to fit typical Halloween treats (small chocolate bars, suckers, etc).� 
  • NOTE:  You could also just cut the entire top off the box or use a no-top box like a shoe box.
  
   
• Optional:  Glue the templates to pieces of thin cardboard and let dry.
• Cut out the template pieces.
• Print the child's name on the large pumpkin (template 1).
• Glue pieces together:
  • Head shape (template 1) should go on shoulders (template 2)
  • Glue the bow (template 2) under the chin
  • Glue the whole body onto the back of the box, facing over the top (so it looks like he's sitting behind the box, holding it...  See picture at the top of this page if you don't understand).
  • Glue the pumpkin (template 1) onto the front of the box
  • Glue the hands (template 2) to the front of the box, overlapping the pumpkin slightly.

Templates:

• After printing, close the template window to return to the main page.
• If the template doesn’t fit on one page, adjust your printer margins:
  • In most browsers: Print → More settings → Margins → Minimum
  • Or use Page Setup / Printer Setup in your printer dialog
